our merry little christmas


I celebrated my first Christmas as Mrs. Murakami! Christmas Eve was shared with my extended family at my brother Steve's beautiful home.  Christmas day it was just our little family, and I have to say, it was one of our best Christmases ever!  Although the weather was a tad damp, it did not dampen our spirits.  Rob took us girls out golfing for the very first time in our lives.  I never thought I would like golf, but it was a blast!  Even when I swung hard at the ball and it rolled a mere five inches!  Lots of laughter and whooping cheers every time we did manage to catch some air and distance.  Sorry no pics - it was wet outside!

But I do have pics of the great indoors, and they do show how merry our time together was.  This is what Christmas with family is all about:



The smiles,


the hugs,


some wishes coming true,


cuddles,


nurturing,

 getting goofy,
 
 a little friendly competition,


and lots of joy!


 Here's to a wonderful new year, too!
